Flambeau 400
The ''Flambeau 400'' was a streamlined passenger train operated by the Chicago and North Western Railway between Chicago, Illinois, and Ashland, Wisconsin, via Green Bay, Wisconsin. It was originally a special service in the summer time.
==History==
The ''Flambeau'' transported the new American middle class to their new leisure time in the North Woods of Wisconsin. Starting in 1935, the earlier trains were called the ''Flambeau'', which operated on basically the same tracks as later trains did, except it skips Green Bay and runs through Hortonville to Eland, which by 1937 was switched to run through Green Bay. In July 1949 the ''Flambeau'' was inter-graded with the ''Shoreland 400'' and the ''Valley 400'' Between Chicago and Green Bay, past Green Bay they would be independent trains. Therefore the northbound trains would go via Fond du Lac, and southbound would go via Manitowoc.
Then Starting in 1950 It received the new name, ''Flambeau 400,'' The train drew its name from the C&NW's popular ''Twin Cities 400'', so-named for making the run from Chicago to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 400 minutes, and ''Flambeau'', the French word for a torch. Later the ''Flambeau 400'' and ''Peninsula 400'' received bilevel equipment in 1958.〔 Serving the north woods of Wisconsin it saw heavy tourist traffic, But by May 1968, it was losing thousands of dollars for the Northwestern, so in 1969 the ''Flambeau ''became an unnamed Chicago and Green Bay train with seasonal service to Ashland.
The last ''Flambeau'' rolled out of the North Woods on January 5, 1971, Amtrak did not include Green Bay and Ashland in its initial route structure and the service ended May 1, 1971.
